“First arriving crews confirmed heavy fire from a two-story, single-family residence [about five miles from Curtis Memorial Park],” Stafford County Fire and Rescue announced after the 4:45 a.m. dispatch. “All occupants were able to evacuate prior to the arrival of units, and no injuries were reported.”
Additional tankers were called in to support a rural water shuttle operation as crews worked to extinguish the fire and manage structural instability. The blaze was under control within about half an hour.
The home’s occupants are now being aided by the American Red Cross. The fire remains under investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office — with assistance on-scene from Fauquier County Fire and Rescue.
